How do you like the new Liberator? - Page 2

It looks fat and stupid.

The Magrider looks like an Oyster.

Mosquito is okay.

I like it. The ugliness adds a sense of functional authenticity to the design of the airframe. Just like the real world, if you want to fly something sexy, get yourself a fighter.

But it breaks my heart how awesome it looks without that... upside-down tub thing at the bottom

Admittedly even more so with the cockpits merged in the front. Sirisian deserves an award for that

I really like Sirisian's modifications. Looks much more like the original lib and definitely sleeker.

I like the distinct cockpits. It's the kind of thing that recalls to me our old boarding animations and seat icons on the ground. Having two cockpits makes(would have made) it easier to line up on the right one.

I also like it because it evokes classic WWII era bombers, which is a good thing to me.

Cut the additional flaps. It looks like it has two F-18 Hornets attached to the end of the wings lol.

Our disagreement over crew member function aside, Sirisian 'shops a damn good Lib.

I dont like the new looks of the liberator it looks more like an albartoss seaplane than a bomber and it resembles the galaxy too much.
I wish it was abit sleeker like Sirians modification or more like the orginal lib

My jaw dropped when I saw it. I love it.

One thing that I think would be cool is if the top seat would be for the pilot and the bottom seat would be for the bomber like a B-25. Thats just a personal preference though.

The whole thing looks like a love-child of a Hind, B-25, and an LAAT from Star Wars Clone Wars.

Exactly, it's a fucking ugly aircraft, but it's a good ugly.

There are a lot of aircraft in real life that look far.. far.. more ugly by comparison.

To be honest I thought it was kind of ugly at first but after looking at it a couple of more times it kind of grew on me.

I like it.

So far it's the only model I -really- don't like. Way too tall and fat, looks more like a transport helicopter than a bomber, i really can't picture myself flying that thing nose in the dirt to bust some tanks (will it even fit under a walkway?). I'm praying it's just the NC that gets the fugly skin, and we TR get something sleek looking, more A-10 like.

I spent like 90% of my playtime in planetside 1 either flying a lib/vulture or gunning my friend's prowler... Last news and pics we got were pretty bad to me

Thanks god the mossie is extra-awesome, hope we can reconfigure it on a two seater gunship.

Can someone explain the trolly bit to me? Other than that bit I love it. but why the fat bit? B52s arn't fat.

Here is a version thats a bit thinner.. with some extra bombs... cos I love bombs. I like this ome better, the trolly just looks out of place to me.
